Course Objectives

Write Python programs using fundamental programming constructs such as input/output, conditionals, loops, functions, and basic data structures.
Organize code using modules and functions with proper exception handling for error control.
Design and implement classes to apply object-oriented programming principles.
Utilize inheritance to extend and reuse program functionality.
Develop and apply unit tests to verify program correctness and reliability.
Apply advanced data handling techniques using collections, comprehensions, and functional tools such as map(), filter(), and reduce().
Read from and write to common file formats, including XML, CSV, and JSON.
Connect to a database and perform basic operations for persistent data storage.
Use basic version control workflows (e.g., Git) to track changes and manage project development.
